There was a very good reason we wanted to take pictures in Philadelphia this year. The first reason was that the city became our home away from home and also Mia talked about the river often even though she had no idea where it was when we were in CHOP. Most people don't know this story, but after Mia's transplant she loved watching the movie, The Good Dinosaur. For those of you who have never seen the movie, Arlo gets lost from his family and remembers that his father always told him to follow the river to get home. Well, Mia started telling me, as well as the nurses that she was going to follow the river to get home! She wanted to get home so badly and this little girl fought and did! So this picture especially will always remind me of her amazing fight and all that she had to overcome to follow that river and get home! Thank you, Tammy Scirrotto for capturing this moment for me! Always grateful!
